Practical Tools for Eliminating Your Project’s REAL Constraints

Our model of effective project management includes important components such as focus, drive, pragmatism, and clear communication. So why are there so many breakdowns in our projects? In this session, you’ll learn how many of a project’s constraints are overlooked, or even exacerbated, by the gaps in our approach to managing projects. The good news for female leaders: Leading projects with feminine power capitalizes on your innate gifts to make your projects more effective and less stressful.

Leading Real Change:
Integrating Feminine Power to Craft a Sustainable Culture

Change management initiatives can be earnest efforts to create sustainability, but more often than not, they end up being more cosmetic than transformative. Creating organizations that will survive and thrive in the future requires that we tap into every source of intelligence and capability we have.

The most unrecognized and untapped resource in organizations – and individuals – is the power of our feminine side. Beyond “soft skills,” feminine power embodies the capacity for resilience, holistic thinking, meaningful connection, and receptivity to new ideas and approaches. It’s central to accessing our best innovation, agility, and employee retention.

Like a hybrid-powered vehicle, an organization with an integrated culture makes the most of both masculine and feminine fuels in its people and its operations. When these two sources of power fully integrate, a remarkable transformation occurs. The result is a culture that’s agile, sustainable, effective AND efficient. Such a company can be large without being bureaucratic, and can move quickly without losing traction.

This session will teach you how to create an integrated culture that includes both masculine and feminine approaches. Come learn to be a REAL change agent for your organization and for yourself.

Work/Work Balance:
Using Feminine Power to Stress Less Without Cutting Back

C’mon. We all know that work-life balance is a myth for women. Successful female leaders barely find the time to meet the demands of their work and their families, let alone have time for themselves and their friendships. What if we let go of the myth that you can create a tidy life where work, family, hobbies, and personal time all fit into neat little compartments? Let’s get real. In this session, you will learn the secrets of feminine power that will allow you to kick butt, without it kicking yours. You’ll learn how to shift gears with ease so that even after a long day, you can truly relax and recharge. And we’ll show you how your work can energize rather than drain you. Come learn to cut your stress in half…without sacrificing an ounce of your success.
